Question

After 20 minutes of waiting outside the baggage claim area for your friend to pick you up, you decide to go inside the airport terminal and phone her. Standing a short distance from you is a kind-looking older woman. "Would you mind watching my luggage so I can go make a quick phone call?" you ask politely. "I'd be happy to watch it for you," she replies, "my ride is not coming for another half-hour." When you return less than five minutes later, the old lady and your luggage (including your laptop) are gone. This example illustrates one of the problems associated with:__________
A) ethnocentrism.
B) the "feel good, do good" effect.
C) the rule of reciprocity.
D) an implicit personality theory.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) an implicit personality theory.

Explanation:

The scenario that is being described in the question illustrates one of the problems associated with an implicit personality theory. This theory basically describes how the traits and patterns that a person may use in order to make a judgement call on what kind of person a stranger is based on very little detail. For example in this situation you judged a complete stranger as being a kind older woman, solely on the way she looked....Which turned out to be wrong.
